"Western Han" and "Eastern Han" are the methods of modern historiography, and after the Wei and Jin dynasties, it is called "
Former Han
"and"
Hou Han
For example, at the end of the Han Dynasty, people used to call the history book that recorded the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
The Book of the Later Han Dynasty that we are circulating now is the Song dynasty of the Southern Dynasty
Fan Ye
Before him, at least eight predecessors wrote similar works such as the Book of the Later Han Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty.
cite:
The eight Later Han books are: Xie Cheng's Book of Later Han, Xue Ying's Book of Later Han, Sima Biao's Book of Continuation, Xie Shen's Book of Later Han, Yuan Shansong's Book of Later Han, Hua Zhao's Book of Later Han, Zhang Ying's Southern Chronicle of Later Han, and Zhang Fan's Later Han Dynasty.
As for the history books that record the history of the Western Han Dynasty, in addition to the "Records of History", it is the official revision history book "Book of Han" in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The author of the Book of Han is The Eastern Han Dynasty Ban Gu, Ban Gu's talent is outstanding, the Book of Han has also become one of the first four histories, and its perfection in the jichuan style is also creative.
The first four histories: Sima Qian's "History", Ban Gu's "Book of Han", Fan Ye's "Book of later Han", and Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Similarly, later generations referred to the Book of Han as the "Former Book". - This "front" is relative to the "back" of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han regime also referred to the Eastern Han Dynasty as the "Middle Han" and called itself the "Ji Han".
Pan Mei yue: second to ZTE Ji xing. The Records of Emperor Wu of Wei quote the Records of the Three Auxiliaries as saying, "Seeing that Han Zuo will move, it is said that Ke Ji xing".
Wu Mingjun said: When the people were later Han, the Han was the Middle Han, and the Shu Han was the Ji Han, so Yang Opera was praised as "Ji Han Fu Chen Zan", and the prologue was "At the end of the Self-Chinese Han Dynasty, Wang Gang abandoned the handle".
Get to the point
Liu Xiu is indeed a relative of the Han Dynasty, but the branch he is in is very far away from the Western Han Emperor's Chamber, and it is Liu Qi, the Han Jing Emperor, who traces six generations back.
Emperor Liu Of Han Gaozu Liu Bang Han Wen Emperor Liu Heng Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi Changsha Ding Wang Liu Fa Ling Marquis Liu Mai Yulin TaiShou Liu Wai Ju Lu Du Wei Liu Hui Nan Dun Order Liu Qin Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu.
The throne of Liu Qi, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was passed to Liu Che the Han Emperor, and since then the Western Han Imperial Chamber has been a branch of Liu Che, so Liu Xiu's family is not a large branch of the Western Han Imperial Chamber, but just an ordinary branch among the many descendants of the Liu clan.
During Wang Mang's rebellion, many people in the world wanted the Han Dynasty to re-emerge, before Liu Xuan was called emperor (known in history as "More First Emperor"), and then there were Chimei troops who served Liu Penzi as emperor, and they all fought for the world under the banner of "overthrowing the new dynasty and reviving the Han Dynasty".
The same is true of Liu Xiu, who has set the name of the country as "Han", which is to take advantage of his own bloodline! Only a fool would give up his bloodline advantage, right?
For example, when Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor in Shudi, the national name was also "Han", and the reason was the same.
The historical positioning of the Eastern Han government for its own political power is described in the official documents with "Guangwu Zhongxing" as the background description, plus the Western Han Dynasty Capital Chang'an, the Eastern Han Dynasty Dingdu Luoyang, although the national name is "Han", but from the perspective of blood inheritance and national system, it is already two dynasties.
Moreover, the Shu Han Empire established by Liu Bei called itself "Ji Han" in terms of political positioning, such as Yang Xi's "Ji Han Auxiliary Minister Praise".
The political goal proposed by Zhuge Liang in the "Table of Renunciation" is to "rejuvenate the Han Dynasty and return to the old capital", which is consistent with Liu Xiu's "Zhongxing" and is expected to achieve the same achievements as Liu Xiu.
In this way, the Ji Han (Shu Han) was also against the Western Han (Han, Former Han) and Eastern Han (Later Han, Middle Han) regimes
Jurisprudence inheritance
However, from the perspective of the form of political power, it cannot be said to be a continuation of the previous dynasty.
